So turns out "accessory muscles" has an actual physiological meaning and is not, as I had assumed, a derisive term for muscles cultivated solely to look hot

It appears ICE murdered someone in cold blood today and their plan is — per usual — to create a fog of lies so the killer does not face justice. We simply can't let that happen. The shooter has to be arrested and so does Bovino. They can't just kill people on the street.
